Servings: persons

2/3 cups Shortening, Softened
2/3 cups Butter, Softened
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Brown Sugar
2 whole Eggs
2 teaspoons Vanilla
3-1/4 cups All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Salt
1 package (12 Oz. Package) Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips.
1 cup Chopped Nuts (optional)

1
Cream shortening, butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl.
2
In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips.
3
Add dry ingredients/chocolate chip mixture to the shortening/butter mixture. Stir together till incorporated. Add 1 cup of nuts if desired.
4
I have found that chilling the dough in the freezer for up to an hour (and in between scooping on cookie sheet) helps stop spread of the cookie.
5
Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

Notes:
7
For an even softer cookie, use 3 1/2 cups of flour.
8
This recipe actually makes about 90+ cookies depending on the size of the spoon you use. I use a small cookie scoop, and always get perfect-sized cookies!
